Why Read the Classics?

Italo Calvino's superb storytelling gifts earned him international renown and a reputation as "one of the world's best fabulists" (New York Times Book Review). He is the author of numerous works of fiction, as well as essays, criticism, and literary anthologies. Born in Cuba in 1923, Calvino was raised in Italy, where he lived most of his life. At the time of his death, in Siena in 1985, he was the most-translated contemporary Italian writer.

Italo Calvino was not only a prolific master of fiction, he was also an uncanny reader of literature. Why Read the Classics? is the most comprehensive collection of Calvino's literary criticism available in English, accounting for the enduring importance to our lives of crucial writers of the Western canon. Here - spanning more than two millennia, from antiquity to postmodernism - are thirty-six ruminations on the writers, poets, and scientists who meant most to Calvino at different stages of his life.

读后感

阅读《为什么读经典》这本书后，我有不敢再写读后感的念头。因为书中展现出来的卡尔维诺的阅读世界，深厚、多维。可以看出卡尔维诺的阅读史和思想层面是我辈难以企及的。我自己曾经写的读后感较之相形而贬，有不值一看的嫌疑。 阅读这本书的过程有些“痛苦”，此...  

看了这么多年的小说，我没有遇到一个作家，象他那样风格多变，而又充满奇思妙想，他创作丰富，每一本小说，都堪为经典，都达到了无人能及的高度，他像博尔赫斯那样，对现实不屑于顾，但他不像博尔赫斯那样灰暗，他的所有的小说都是童话，除了觉得美，我们几乎无话可说。是他让...

卡尔维诺的书对喜欢文学的人来说，现在不会陌生了，最近新版的作品集，给老卡的书迷带来欣喜，我也是其中的一员。在两个版本背后，少了一个人，就是翻译家吕同六先生的辞世，当然新版中“黄灿然 ”的名字对关注国外文学的来说，也并不陌生。少了一个人，但多出一本书，就是现...

用户评价

其实这是一本essay集子，读了对了解作家有益处，但我觉得重点还是应该把里面列出的自己感兴趣的书找来读。没有一个介绍可以取代被介绍的对象。
